Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
Explanation: Myxedema is due to hypothyroidism resulting in slow heart rate, dry skin, low energy, and weight gain. With this chronic condition, the skin becomes thick and the body retains water, resulting in puffing of the face and thickening of the tongue and hands.
